After the murders that were committed by him and his "family", all I have to say is that Satan is pouring petrol on the hell fires for you: enjoy eternity for the murders of Sharon Tate and the others.

I am not a huge fan of the death penalty (mostly because if you get it wrong and the person turns out to be innocent afterwards, its kind of hard to make to make that back up to someone in any way), but for some people I'd happily make an exception.

There is a secret song at the center of the world, Joey, and its sound is like razors through flesh.

That's a bunch of BS. Manson was in prison at the time they made the CREEPING TERROR in 1964. Manson was in prison from 1960 until 1967. He wasn't at Spahn Ranch until 1968.And THAT's a fact. the makers of this "docu-drama" are exploiting the Manson infamy buy putting him into this film. I watched CREEP-it's mostly made-up nonsense.

Well guys, Manson had a pretty miserable life all around and likely spent about 75% of it in prison. I can't imagine the life he had. I can't say I'm n sorry he's dead but I won't dance on his grave either.

Well, now that Charlie is dead, I guess we'll never get his opinion on Manson : the Movie. Written by Quentin Tarantino. Directed by Quentin Tarantino. Apparently, not a film specifically on Manson, but more of an ensemble piece reflecting the times, but to be released on the 50th anniversary of the Sharon Tate Murders or August 9, 2019.

Oddly enough or maybe not, not the only major film to be released on that date. This film is one that has been in "movie development hell" for the past decade. More on this film later in a different thread.

If one is interested in watching a film on Manson, probably the best so far is Helter Skelter, the TV movie which was released in 1976, and which is based upon the book of the same title and stars Steve Railsback as Manson. I have never seen it, but I have heard a lot of good things about it.

I should have added that Quentin Tarantino is going to be busy in the next few months. Not only is he going to be doing a film about Manson and his times for release in 2019, but he is also going to be doing a Star Trek film for Paramount. Release date unknown, though it is in now in pre-production, as a sequel to 2016's Star Trek : Beyond. Not write this time. Just direct. Or, so I have heard.
